What
Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's
computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in
a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each
Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser
only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent
to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are
usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not
to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser
to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies,
it is possible that some areas of our site will not function as
effectively when viewed by the users. A cookie cannot retrieve
any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How
Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As
you visit and browse our Web site, the site uses cookies to differentiate
you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent
you from having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies,
in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate
the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and which parts
of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly
improve our Web site and better serve our clients. Cookies do not
allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do
not intentionally store any personal information that your browser
provided to us in your cookies.

can be sent to you.
